Chapter 13

by William Blake

Hello gang! Verse 3 of this chapter is fascinating! My translation reads: "I desire to argue my case with God."  What did you think about those words?  Do you feel like Job is brave?  Or asking for trouble?  This whole chapter is a very bold side of Job.  In verse 15 he states that he's ready to see God face-to-face and make his case.  Verses 20-28 shifts to Job's prayer to God. 

Reflection Questions:
-It seems that Job pictures God as a judge.  Is this a comfortable or uncomfortable image for you?
-In this chapter, is Job being overly-confident, bold, or completely broken?

    I think that we all argue with God at times. We don't always like the way our lives unfold and we get angry at God. But God still wants to hear from us. Is God a judge? Yes I think he is but he also gave us Christ so that we can still have salvation through faith if we repent of our sins. i see Job as being overly-confident, bold, and completely broken. We all are at times.
